Synopsis

After three weeks and a long, hot voyage across the Pacific, an ocean liner finally arrives at its destination, Ecuador. That evening, the event is marked by a masked ball and a magic show. Dainah, a liberated young woman who does not seem to have much affection for her husband, goes up on deck alone for a breath of fresh air. Here, she encounters the ship’s engineer, Michaux. Mistaking Dainah’s intentions, the engineer attempts to kiss her, but the young woman runs away. The next day, Dainah again finds Michaux on the deck. In the morning, it is announced that Dainah has disappeared. Having organised a search party, the ship’s captain soon suspects that Michaux may have thrown the missing woman overboard. The engineer categorically denies this. There are other possible explanations. The young woman may have committed suicide, or she may have been murdered by her husband...
